KARACHI: Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has launched the construction of a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower and a modern Rescue & Fire Fighting Station (RFFS) at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, aimed at improving air traffic management, operational safety, and airport readiness.

According to the details, the facilities will be designed and constructed by MM Pakistan in joint venture with CEMOSA and Fairbanks Architects from Spain, bringing international expertise in airport planning and Communication and Navigation/Air Traffic Management (CNS)/(ATM) systems integration.

A four-day inception workshop at JIAP Karachi brought together a two-member team of international aviation experts - senior architect Bruce Fairbanks and CNS/ATM specialist Juan Cruz Cañabate - who met local aviation professionals to refine project requirements and design parameters.

After evaluating three potential locations, sites for both the ATC Tower and the new fire station have been finalized, ensuring alignment with operational, safety, and future development considerations.

This initiative underscores PAA’s commitment to developing critical aviation infrastructure in accordance with international standards and global best practices.
